Queen
She looks at me, but I can’t work out her expression.
The cushion cut blue sandstone gem takes centre stage. It’s set in five prongs, arranged to make it look like the five points of a star – just like what her eyes have always reminded me of. Opals are infinity set around the central gem, whilst the band itself is set along the top surface with deep blue sapphires.
“Leda?” I choke on the emotion.
“Leda.” I start again, my voice stronger. “I have done some terrible things. But, since the moment I met you, I have loved you, and nothing else I’ve done has gone any way to change that.”
